Airway, Breathing, Compressions

Breathing, Airway, Compression

Compressions, Airway, Breathing

Breathing, Compressions, Airway

2. When assessing the victim, you should remember to “look, listen and feel” for breathing.

True

The 2010 AHA recommendations have removed the recommendation to “look, listen and feel” for breaths. If the person does not appear to be breathing, is breathing abnormally or is only gasping, you should begin CPR immediately if the pulse is absent as well.

At least 120 per minute

At least 80 per minute

Question 4 of 10

4. The recommended compression depth for an adult is:

1 inch

1.5 inches

At least 2 inches

None of the above are correct

Correct

The AHA recommendation for adults is to provide compressions to a depth of at least 2 inches, but not more than 2.4 inches (5-6 cm).

The AHA recommendation for adults is to provide compressions to a depth of at least 2 inches, but not more than 2.4 inches (5-6 cm).

Question 5 of 10

5. If performing rescue breathing, you should:

Avoid excessive ventilation

Provide a breath every 2 seconds

Do not allow the chest to expand between breaths

All of the above are correct

Correct

Excessive ventilation may cause air to build up in the person’s stomach, which may lead to difficulty providing good compressions. Gastric distention may also lead to vomiting by the victim which can result in aspiration (inhalation of the vomited material) and pneumonia.

Incorrect

Question 6 of 10

6. When assessing the victim, you should feel for a pulse for:

3 seconds

5-10 seconds

15-20 seconds

20-30 seconds

Correct

Many responders are unable to detect a pulse, so the recommendation is to feel for a pulse for 5 to 10 seconds maximum. If there is no pulse, or you are not sure if you feel a pulse, begin CPR.

Incorrect

Many responders are unable to detect a pulse, so the recommendation is to feel for a pulse for 5 to 10 seconds maximum. If there is no pulse, or you are not sure if you feel a pulse, begin CPR.

The Adult Chain of Survival sequence is as follows: Activate the emergency response system; CPR; Defibrillation; Advanced Life Support; Post-Cardiac arrest care. Early CPR is the best predictor of survival.
